Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Using 2 RC receivers on board

[Chris]

It does not replace two receivers, what i meant was that the system is 
so good and robust that i doubt
you going to need two receivers.
Two receivers are better but the whole system has other much more 
critical points that can fail.
How ever if you insist you can use two receivers with this contraption
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__18703__wireless_buddy_box_system_8ch_dual_rx_controller_.html
and a spare receiver even on a different band.
I have used it and it works fine.
